Wired Malibu/Garden lights vs. Solar Malibu lights?

Question

I presently have the wired Malibu lights. I've had much trouble with the wiring and transformer. This happens regularly.  So, I'm thinking of switching to solar Malibu lights. I noticed my neighbor's solar Malibu lights don't seem nearly as bright as my wired lights. Are there any solar Malibu lights that are nearly as bright as the wired kind? What brand?

none of the solar lights emit the same lumes as wired lights. most of the new ones use leds, which work better but they still have limits. usually they work ok at the beginning of the night and fade as their batteries weaken. 

for my money i still like the wired lights. yea they can be troublesome at times but properly installed the return outweighs the trouble.

I agree with the first answer. The wired lights are much brighter and more dependable than the solar lights.Just take your time and go through your wiring  and check your connections.The solar lights are great  only in the best of circumstances, but they they don't hold a candle to the light bulb...lol.

Im not sure about  finding a brighter light, I notice that any solar lighting is never as bright as wired lights, but we all appreciate the solar lights as they preserve our valuable earth resources
